As someone who loves Mario Sunshine and considers it one of my favourite games ever, Mario Sunshine sucks and absolutely deserves a place on your list

Pokemon Diamond being there isn't a hot take, the game was fine for its time and then aged like half-fresh milk (not at all lol)

unless you believe it wasn't good even for its time, at which point, that could be a hot take (also why is it Diamond specifically and not Platinum, unless you're counting the two as one)

everything else I can't really comment on, but I am surprised to see Octopath, Tetris, and SMB2 down there. Perhaps you could explain why?
 
idk if this is a hot take but i see people in the midwest be like "wow why would you even live in hurricane country" mfer at least you can prepare for hurricanes, yall got the Twister of Death SEASON. how do you prepare for a tornado heading towards your house

hurricanes are so much easier to deal with than many other types of natural disasters

have you been in a hurricane? this is an absurd statement lol, ive been in cat 5 hurricanes where basically nothing happens. an unpleasant day where the worst thing that happens is i am bored with no wifi

a tornado hits your house and you no longer have a house

most of us have houses with good infrastructure bc we arent florida

ok, but worst case scenario for a tornado, you retreat to your basement, where you are pretty safe. if you are that afraid of it, build a tornado shelter. if a hurricane hits your house, your basement is now an aquarium. your house is flooded, what are you going to do now?

this is such a false equivalence though

if a tornado hits your house your house is dead

your scenario of a hurricane and a house is a terribly designed house. i dont want to just be "safe" i want my house to be standing and hurricanes in places with well-built homes dont just crumble because of a hurricane: again, ive been in strong hurricanes and my house was fine, it was just an unpleasant experience

when people see destroyed homes in hurricanes its usually because the houses are built in the most destructive places for a hurricane OAT, like on the shoreline or in Florida AKA reclaimed swampland
 
in many ways having your house completely destroyed might actually be a better feeling than to have it (mostly intact) but the internals of it so completely unusable it might as well be dead

then again we're talking tornadoes vs hurricanes. both of them suck, really doesn't feel worth comparing them to each other in this context if I'm gonna be honest

fair enough, i was mostly thinking about this because i saw this screenshot of a guy blaming east coasters for living in areas with hurricanes

What really rubs me the wrong way about this attitude is the idea that people are idiots for living in a place where natural disasters happen. People can live wherever for all kinds of reasons! I care more about the response and preparedness than where people choose to live. I saw a lot of this when Texas was hit by that cold snap a couple years ago. Those people didn't choose for their state government to have its own shitty power grid! A lot of them didn't even vote for the Republicans who caused that problem!
 
"Just move lol" is an insanely stupid response to any problem and people who use it shouldn't be taken seriously in any context. There are many, many reasons a person can't 'just move' to escape natural disasters, bigotry, high costs of living, etc., not least of which is that shit is fucking expensive. 'Just moving' to a cheaper area might seem like a solution to someone privileged enough to never be in that situation in the first place, but when I've got about 200 bucks left over on a good month after rent, groceries, bills, gas, and a car payment, saving up the several thousand dollars that moving is gonna cost me isn't as easy as you make it sound. Hope my chronic illness doesn't affect my ability to work over that period of time either, or that little bit of extra money dries up awful quick. That's not even mentioning leaving social support networks, healthcare providers, friend groups, etc. It's the modern day 'let them eat cake' and I'm really fucking sick of people who have obviously never been in a situation like that chiming in about it.
 
rebel-purist alignment charts are supposed to be observational comedy about how different people use words and concepts more or less broadly. putting a ridiculous stretch or "literally anything" in the rebel row/column instantly makes it uninteresting, unfunny, and uncreative.

IGN review scores are mostly fine. Reviews are done by different people and if people want review scores to be power scaling of media or some shit thats dumb.

The reviewer's opinion is their opinion, just because some guy gave Cooking Mama a 7 in 2010 doesn't mean this mid asf ARPG deserves a higher score

review scores are inherently inconsistent because its not the same person making all of the reviews

also ive seen people rip apart IGN reviews for mistakes the voiceover guy made, and not the reviewer. For instance their Xenoblade DE review got shit on by Xenoblade fans because "the reviewer clearly doesn't know anything about the game", because in the video the presenter doesn't say a lot of the names correctly

but the person who reviewed that remake also clearly knows the original very well and constantly mentions facts about the original only fans would really know, and experiences he had with the original title

i think in general youtube reviewers have changed the way people view review outlets, where they expect one person to play, script and record the video. thats just not practical or how it works though

IGN have had some gaffs over the years — "the exaggerated swagger of a black teen" continues to live rent-free in my head — but I find them largely inoffensive. It seems to me that a lot of the visceral hatred for them (and review websites in general) comes from people who are only interested in reviews as a means of affirming their preexisting opinions about things. I broadly think that the world would be a better place if we collectively agreed to do away with numerical scores altogether, but getting mad at some journalist for not giving a game the score you think it deserves is just a bit sad, really.
